Rio village, WI in context

How this area compares with national benchmarks.

Rio village is a small town in Wisconsin, with 1,068 residents counted in the Census American Community Survey 2019-2023 ACS 5-year estimates, which places it #381 of 807 ranked by population — larger than 52% of them. The median age here is 40.4 years against 39.1 nationally, a slightly older profile than the country as a whole. At this population the ACS sample is small, so the margin of error around every dollar figure below is wide — treat the numbers as a band, not a point, and expect them to move between annual releases without the place itself changing.

Households in Rio village earn a median of $68,304 a year, 13% below the national figure of $78,538 and 8% below the $73,880 median for the 395 Wisconsin cities we cover. The median is the midpoint household, not an average, so a handful of very high earners cannot drag it upward the way they distort a mean. Poverty reaches 20% of residents here, well above the 12.4% national rate, which is the single clearest signal in this dataset that median income here is carried by a narrow band of households.

The typical owner-occupied home in Rio village is valued at $174,800, 42.4% below the national figure and 18% below the $211,900 peer median, while median gross rent runs $789 a month, 43.9% below the national figure, or roughly $9,468 across a full year. A household on the local median income would put about 13.9% of gross pay toward that rent against the federal 30% cost-burden threshold, so renting here is cheap relative to what people here earn. The home-price-to-income ratio works out to 2.6×, against roughly 3.9× nationally, so buying is easier here than in the average US market. 66.3% of occupied homes are owner-occupied versus 65% nationally, so the market leans toward owners. Gross rent folds in the utilities a tenant pays separately, so it is closer to the real monthly outlay than a headline rent figure.

All values below were released by the Census for this exact geography, with no gap-filling on our side. Small-area estimates still carry wider margins of error than state or national figures, so check the linked ACS tables before relying on them for lending, appraisal or legal work.
